' MUST HANG, SAYS THE COURT.
)
Daniel Duncan Loses Appeal to the
> State's Highest Tribunal.
Columbia, Feb. 27.?Daniel Dun;
can, colored, will be hanged shortly
in Charleston for the murder of Max
Lubelsky, a Russian merchant, unless
Gov. Blease interposes execuk
tive clemency or a new trial is granted,
on after-discovered evidence, the
supreme court having affirmed today
the verdict of death imposed be,
low.
The appeal was on the ground that
evidence relatinsr to a murderous at
, tack by Duncan upon the Lubelsky
L widow should have been excluded as
irrelevant. The supreme court up,
holds the ruling below that the evidence
was competent, under the
State's contention that Duncan shot
, to kill the woman in order to seal
. her mouth. The case was remanded
so that the circuit court may fix a
new date for the execution.
Govan News.
Govan, Feb. 27.?Although our
' town was devastated by fire recently,
; our citizens have the indomitable
L courage to never say defeated in their
' enterprises, and there will doubtless
be more handsome stores erected to
' replace those destroyed in the near
future.
Commercially our little town has
made little progress, but it has one
quality, that is superb, and that is,
its geographical situation makes it
one of the healthiest places in the
State.
Mr. Eugene Eaves and Miss Marion
Ray were happily united in the bonds
of matrimony Tuesday afternoon at
Salem Methodist church. We wish
for this young couple an abi&dance
of success in their united efTdrts.
May they have smooth sailing down
the stream of life, not even a ruffle
on the stream that would in any way
turn felicity, bought at the cost of
Cupid's dart, into disappointment.
Misses Nina Dunbar and Pattie
Lee Sweat, who recently were guests
at the home of Mr. Hay, returned recently
returned to King's Mountain,
Mrs. Helen Hay. of Arkansas, re
cetnly returned to King's Mountain,
N. C., on her way to Arcadia, Texas,
the place of her future abode, after
an extended visit with relatives. To
those who chanced to come in touch
with her charming personality, doubtless
feel a disappointment at her departure.
Mrs. Mary Glover, of John's Island,
is visiting at the home of her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. U. M. Eaves.
Mrs. Carrie Perry, also of John's
'Island, is a guest in the community.
Mr. Monnie Lain recently returned
to Mullet Hall, after a short visit
with his parents here.
Mr. J. E. Kennedy has returned
to John's Island, where he is employed
on a plantation.
Mr. Jack Hutto, who was section
foreman at this place for several
years, is still in the service at Burroughs,
Ga.
When shall we be delivered from
the corruption brought to bear upon
us by the prohibition law? Did the
prohibitionists find a solution to the
great question? I was very much
amused at a very dear friend sometime
ago remarking that he thought
my philosophy was well grounded on
the question, but that the entire
State of South Carolina ought to go
dry now as they had dried the majority
of tip counties by means of local
option and that he thought it
wise to burn the bridge now as they
had passed over safely and make
State-wide prohibition. But I told
Him mai we may want to cross over
that bridge again, local option. Is it
not true with Bamberg county? As
long as the citizens of a free republic
have patriotism in their hearts, their
ballots shall ever declare what law
shall serve them.
Kills Negro Woman.
Dillon, Feb. 27.?Minnie Herring
was killed and Julius Finklea shot
through the wrist by Henry Johnson
last night 'on 'the plantation of J. C.
Cottingham about seven miles from
here. All three ar#" negroes.
These three and another woman
were living in one house, and a row
started because Johnson and one of
the women were packing to leave.
Johnson opened fire with a Colt's revolver,
shooting the man through
the wrist and the woman through the
abdomen.
This morning the premises were
found deserted, and the dead negress
w^as lying in the yard. The wounded
negro was discovered at a neighboring
plantation, while Johnson and the
other woman had fled, having boarded
a train for Mullins.
The coroner held an inauest and
fixed the killing on Johnson. |

Governor Blease has announced
that he will not appoint any negroes
as notaries public, and if any slip in,
he wants to be notified by the clerks
of court, so that their commissions
may be revoked.
A hearing was had last week before
Gov. Blease in reference to the
act passed by the recent legislature
against ill-formed counties, and as
a result the governor announced
that he will veto the act because it
is unconstitutional.
It seems to be plain from the record
that the governor occupies an untenable
position in regard to a special
judge for the Conway court. He
stated that he did not obey the recommendation
of the supreme court
because there was a circuit judge disengaged,
and 4t appears that he was
mistaken. Judge Copes is holding
court in Columbia and Judge Memminger
opens court in Monck's Corner
Monday.
News from Kearse.
Wanderer's Rest, Feb. 27.?The
grip is abroad in the land and many
are the victims who suffer from the
invasion. Misery loves company, and
in this case the company is plenty
but not congenial. As for the writer
he much prefers the song of birds,
pretty flowers and music, but in this
old world things are not always what
we like. Now for the benefit of
those' who are not acquainted with
the monster we will let an old man
down this side give in his own words
the miseries of the plague. "Yes,

Things are brighter than a few
days ago. The sun is shining bright,
the violets are all smiles, the mocking
bird is singing its happy song
in a near-by tree, the blue jay is calling
to his mate, too late, too late,
and she replies wait. So spring
will soon be here. One large fine
open rose is before the writer, sheding
its beauty and fragrance all
around; the spirea, verbena, too, are
here, all to remind us of the promise
that seed time and harvest will come
as long as the earth remaineth and
that spring time is coming with its
flowers. The little blue birds are
happy with their song as they flit
about.
From the amount of yellow soil
turned up this spring, the crops will
be abundant next harvest, some of
our farmers are trying to keep up
with the new mode of farming.
Watch results.

CHIEF JUSTICE STANDS FIRM.
Says Special Judge Recommendation
is Conclusive.
"Telegram received. My recommendation
is conclusive and stands.
Ira B. Jones, chief justice."
The telegram was addressed to
Gov. Blease yesterday by the head
of the supreme court of South Carolina
in which he takes the position
that the recommendations of the su
preme court must be obeyed, regardless
of the opinions of the governor
of South Carolina.
The telegram means that Chief
Justice Jones has recommended C. P.
Quattlebaum, of Conway, to hold the
Horry county court as special judge
to take the place of Judge J. C.
Klugh, who is ill.
Will Not Appoint Judge.
Gov. Blease said that he would not
appoint a judge for the Horry county
court on being asked about the matter.
Gov. Blease takes the position that
he has no further power in the case
as he has already recommended
Judge Memminger and Judge Copes,
two disengaged circuit judges, to
hold the Conway court. Gov. Blease
said that the law was plain and that
he could do nothing more than call
the attention to law.
Several days ago Judge Klugh addressed
a letter to Gov. Blease in
which he stated that he was ill and
would be unable to hold the term of
court in Horry county which commences
next Monday.
When it became known that Judge
Klugh would be unable to hold the
court, the Horry county bar association
adopted a resolution indorsing
Mr. Quattlebaum for the position as
special judge. The supreme court
was notified of the action. Chief Jus
tice Jones notified Gov. Blease and
recommended Mr. Quattlebaum for
the position.
The Answer.
In answer Gov. Blease notified
Chief Justice Jones that Judge Copes
who was elected judge hy the general
assembly, had qualified and would he
able to serve. Gov. Blease requested
that Judge Copes he designated as
he was a disengaged circuit judge.
Like Richland Case.
This is identically the same condition
as prevailed in the Richland
county case. Gov. Blease took a different
action in the Richland case.
He appointed James F. J. Caldwell as
special judge for this county. Duncan
C. Ray, of this city, had been indorsed
by the bai association for the
position of special judge. When the
supreme court sent the recommendation
of Mr. Ray for appointment to
Gov. Blease he replied that he would
appoint his friends to places regardless
of the recommendatio of any
one. The Richland situation was
brought to an end by the retirement
of both Mr. Ray and Mr. Caldwell
and thp annnintmonf r?f T? H Wntta
a disengaged circuit judge.
Gov. Blease has already taken the
position that the judicial is a separate
department from the executive
and that the judicial has nothing to
do with the executive. The supreme
court has never ruled on the question
of the jurisdiction of the two
departments, one over the other. It
is'-still an open question.
"I can do nothing. The law is
plain. Judge Memminger and Judge
Copes are disengaged," said Gov.
Blease when asked as to what action
he would take in reply to the refusal
of Chief Justice Jones to comply with
his request.
Can't Understand Blease.

WILL NOT WEAR STRIPES
MAJ. JOHN BLACK'S SENTENCE
| COMMUTED BY GOV. BLEASE. .
Sentence of Five Years in Penitentiary
Commuted to Fine of
$2,000.
John Black, a former State officer
who was under sentence to serve five
years in the State penitentiary, was
last Monday given a commutation of
sentence by Gov. Blease. This created
little comment in Columbia except
that it was expected that the gover
nor might wait until the supreme
court had heard the case before he
would take action.
On the night when the election returns
from the State Democratic primary
announced that Mayor Blease
was a choice of a majority of the
Democratic voters for governor, in
the fullness of the moment he avowed
his friendship for John Black whom
he saw in the crowd of friends congratulating
him and it has been understood
in Columbia since that night
that John Black would at some time
receive executive clemency.
Gov. Blease did not give a" pardon
without any restrictions, but modified
the sentence of the court by ordering
the alternative of a fine of $2,000.
Judge Ernest Moore, the special judge
trying the case at Chester, refused
to allow Maj. Black an alternative of
fine but on account of the affecting
appeals of the convicted man's
friends and on account of his physical
condition decreed that the punishment
should be imprisonment
without labor.
There was not the formal petition,
"numerously signed," referred to
judge and solicitor, etc., and in request
for information, Gov. Blease,
through his secretary, stated:
"M. P. Howell, Henry W. Black
and Maj. John Black called on me
this morning and after the conference
I commuted the sentence of Maj.
Black." This is the statement made
by Gov. Blease when asked as to
whether a petition had been filed for
commutation of sentence.
Mr. Lyon Has Nothing to Say.
Attorney General Lyon was asked
Monday if he had any statement to
make with reference to the action of
the governor. He declined to say
anything whatever. He has no further
charges pending against Maj.
Black. The fine, when paid, will go
to Chester county.
There is no record in the supreme
court of the Black case. Notice was
given in the usual form, at the conclusion
of the trial in Chester, of an
intention to appeal, and the notice
was entered upon the record of the
general sessions court for that county,
but no steps to bring the case up
to the supreme court had been taken.
Judge Moore had refused a new
trial and Mr. Lyon was assured by
lawyers in the case that the supreme
court would of necessity decid^
against defendant. ***'
